The low casserole with two handles is a perfectly cylindrical utensil, with a connecting radius at the base, two handles and a lid, characterized by a height approximately equal to a third of its diameter. With its shallow, straight sides, the low casserole is perfect for cooking small slices of food by three methods: sautéing, pot roasting or braising, and oven roasting. The handles, lid and knob are in 18/10 stainless steel to exploit the low heat conduction of steel and prevent overheating.

Born in Munich in 1932, he studied philosophy, anatomy, graphics, engineering and economics. Ten times winner of the Compassi d'Oro, his prime interest is the design of technically complex objects, from ships to watches.

Alessi. Art and Poetry.

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.

"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto Alessi
